She failed the assignment because she didn't answer the question.
If the professor had asked "Was Jesus a prophet or the son of God" and someone failed because they said "This is a ridiculous question because Jesus didn't exist & here is why" this wouldn't be an issue.

The past couple of days have been rough in Blacksburg.
On Monday evening, 20+ people lost their home and possessions in an apartments fire (fortunately only a couple of minor injuries). Followed last night by another fire in the same building. After the Monday fire was another home fire.
